system of minute marking and percentages
has been done away with. and in place of

students in each course of study in five

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
The Agricultural College.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Prof. Northrop's position, as defined at the
late meeting of the State Horticultural So
ciety, is heartily Endorsed in this part of the
state. He is opposed to the policy of selling
the state farm and building one more CEN
trally, separate from the university, and
urges. with cogent reasons that the educative
forces be concentrated to unity of action,
thus making the univ erSity in all it's depart
meDts what the people demand and want to
support. The prevailing idea is a false one,
that, educationaliy, the agricultural college
Is distinct degree, walled up by itself-as if
it could be separated from any of its CORE
lated branches! Because few students school
themselves specially in the agre Iltural de-
partment, it does not follow that they are not
qualifying themselves for farming. The ag-
ricultural would. of course, be to such thu
more direct and practical. The principal
reason whT young men and women turn
away from the agricultural college is because
of the false and unmaging notions, Inherited
and constantly instilled by custom, that farm
ing is mental, socially below par. What is
first needed is to work on public sentiment,
and to convince young people especially that
no avocation in life is So independent, honor
able, lucrative, when rightly managed.
and esthete in culture, as farming, and
far less veXatious than commercial business.
To fill up the college that most efficiently
prepare the way, the state through the col
lege, must first reach the yeomanry by max
ing the farmers Institutes to the farm and
home what the teachers Institutes are to the
common schools the analytical instruction of
the former equal those of the latter. There
is another motive, false as the rest, which
cramps the college, The very moment an
attempt Is made outs d Of the usual ruts
there is a furious onslaught, declaring the
college is ''utopian, impractical, unworthy of
support" In the name Of common sense
what is the college for, if it is not to devise
better methods, to develop new and improved
varieties of animals and plants, to analyze
and systematic and practically demonstrate
the hidden forces of our soils? Its legitimate
business is not to do what others can do, but
what they cannot do, not having the facili-
ties. Students will be plentiful when other
duties are discharged. Give the college its
due. Encourage scientific experimentation,
demonstrating by analysis and practice what
our different soils can grow, what climatic
conditions we can chemically and electrically
change for the better, what methods are at
tainable to give to farming the popularity it
deserves, and render it so attractive and
profitable as to he the browning excellence of
all the industries. BROWNS VALLEY.

Marriage in Algeria.

brOORlyH
A marriage celebration in Algeria is an
interesting relic of ancient customs. The
bridegroom goes to bring the bride and the
guests assembled outside the house will
wait for his return. Soon the sound of
pipes is heard coming from the summit of
some neighboring hill, and the marriage
procession approaches the bridegroonis
house The pipers always come first in the
procession. then the bride muffied up in a
veil. riding mule led by her lover. Ther
comes bevy of gorgeously- dressed dam
sells, sparkling with silver ornaments after
which the friends of the bride follow. The
procession stops in front of the bridegroom's
house. and the girls friends line both sides
of the pathway. The pipers march off OH
one side. while the groom lifts the girl
from the mule and holds her i'll his arms.
The girls friends thereupon throw earth at
the bridegroom, when he hurries forward
and carries her over the threshold of his
house. Those about the door beat him with
olive branches amid much laughter.
In the evening on such occasions the
pipers and drummers are called i'll and the
women dance, two at time. facing each
other: nor does couple desist until, pant
ing and exhausted. they step aside to make
room for another. The dance has great
energy of movement. thought the steps are
small and changes of position slight the
dancers only cjrcling around occasionally.
But they swing their bodies about with
astonishing energy and suppleness. AS
leaves futter before the gale. so do they
vibrate to the music, they shake, they
shver and tremble; they extend quivering
arms, wave wells, and their minds seem lost
in the abandon and frenzy of the dance.
while the other women. looking on. en-
courage by their high, piercing. thrilling
cries. which add to the noise of the pipes
and drums

THE GIG ARMAKERS.
They Have n CO-Opera tive Schenne
Backed by ConsideTab apitaI.

CHICAGO. Jan. 24.-It is stated to-day
that Chicago is soon to lose some Of her
best cigarmakers, and the two branches of
the International Cigarmakers' union some
of their best leaders. When they leave
they will go into cooperative factory in
New York city, which is expected to start
up May l. and which is to be sort of
training school for great cooperative
scheme. Some six years ago cooperation
was under consideration by the central
body of the union, and plan was finally
adopted. To raise capital each member of
the union has been paying into the general
treasury 5 cents per month as his share of
the cooperative dues. By May this sum
will have reached S67, 600, which they con-
slider sufficient to start the enterprise. Of
this $50 900 is to be used this year
to buy large factory and raw
material. They expect to buy the entire
plantation crop. just as wholesalers now
do. TO run the factory fifty of the best
men in the country are to be selected and
their support and the extra capital to be
used in case of an emergency will be the re-
naming SIT, 00G of the $4,000. The idea
of the leaders of the movement in case it
proves successful, is. after certain time. to
take competent men and open up cooper
alive factory in Chicago This extension
of their factories will be repeated as often
as justihed by the progress made. One Of
the members of the union, who is convers
ant with the plan, said they believed in
ten years the union would have two-thirds
of the trade of the United States. and that
in twenty years the union cooperative
shops would employ every cigarmaker in
